A Guide to Whales, Dolphins & Porpoises by Mark Carwardine, R. Ewan Fordyce, Erich Hoyt, Peter Gill

snailcats's review

5.0

Perhaps too heavy to be a field guide, this wonderful book is a resource for book lovers who would rather not do a web search when looking for information about cetaceans. There are plenty of photographs and most topics are covered in one or two pages, making it easy for the reader to decide if they want to spend a little or a lot of time with the book.

The first half of the book covers the science behind cetaceans and their environment, while the remainder gives more detailed information about many species of whales, dolphins, and porpoises and where to find them.
